How can my simulation be a real love?

Takamatsu looked at her hands, as if suddenly waking from a dream.

There was no 'Wisteria Bird' in my room at all.

What you're talking about doesn't even exist.

She seemed to still be immersed in a dreamlike illusion.

What exactly is going on?

She had just woken up as if from an extremely vivid dream.

It was a very, very long dream, so long that she felt as if she had lived a lifetime in it.

From meeting the 'him' she relied on, to being invited by him to form a band with a smile, and then following him step by step onto the stage, a large number of fragmented memories left her mind in chaos.

Even with such a chaotic memory, the emotions it evoked in her were absolutely real.

It's as if these things really happened in another parallel world!

……

Takamatsu and Kazemi had only met once.

Even if it was just a chance encounter with someone, it was an unforgettable memory for her.

Especially after experiencing the sad 'dream' that stirred her emotions last night, Gao Songdeng's view of him changed even more, and she still had countless thoughts of wanting to ask him questions.

However, the biggest problem she couldn't solve was expressing herself and her inner thoughts.

He had only had a vague dream; it was possible that it was all just Gao Songdeng's wild imagination.

If you tell him these random things without his permission, it will only cause him trouble.

Takamatsu didn't want to be disliked by him.

"..."

The girl sat in the classroom, clutching a notebook tightly to her chest, as if protecting her precious treasure.

This notebook is very ordinary; it's the standard, simple lined notebook with plain white paper that you can easily find in supermarkets.

The cover features only a beautiful wisteria blossom and the elegant characters "Gao Song Deng".

This seemingly ordinary and unremarkable notebook is filled with fragmented memories of Takamatsu Teng. It was written on last night's lamp, containing a lot of thoughts and hidden emotions that arose at the time.

Although these words and phrases were very chaotic and nonsensical, in Takamatsu's eyes they seemed like various puzzle pieces, which could be pieced together to complete a picture from his dream.

She believed that these things must make sense and be meaningful.

"Ah~ It's Tou-chan! Good morning! You look adorable today too!"

"Good morning."

The red-haired girl who suddenly walked into the classroom seemed to radiate boundless energy, greeting Takamatsu Akari with a bright smile.

That flowing, bright red side ponytail was as passionate as a flame, naturally giving people a good impression.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Takamatsu Akari seemed to see a dazzling 'light' emanating from her, like the sun!

Her name is Kita Ikuyo, and she is currently the person that Takamatsu Akari envies the most in her class.

She's incredibly cute, with bright red, flowing hair and a radiant smile. She's like a little sun surrounded by countless planets in the class, always shining brightly on everyone.

QQ: 8 1 4 9 0 3 7 9 8

She can quickly build good relationships with anyone, and her academic and athletic achievements are both excellent.

With her kind, cheerful, and energetic personality, she is naturally popular with those around her, and is the number one most popular person among both men and women.

Takamatsu was truly envious of her, because she could be considered the strongest 'ordinary person' in her eyes.

She can easily become friends with everyone around her, as if she was born with strong social skills.

If this little sun were to replace the weak and complacent self in the dream, who only knew how to reap the benefits, the ending would surely be completely different, right?

Thinking of this, Takamatsu lowered her head in disappointment, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her nose.

An indescribable sadness suddenly welled up from the bottom of her heart, making her want to cry out loud on the spot.

But if she cried here, it would definitely cause trouble for everyone. Thinking of this, the girl hugged the notebook in her arms tightly again, suppressing her emotions.

"Um, Deng-chan?"

"Ah, yes."

Kita Ikuyo's sudden approach and question made Takamatsu Akari feel flattered. She noticed that Kita Ikuyo's expression was conflicted and nervous.

This was the first time she had seen this class's little ray of sunshine display such an expression that was unlike her.

"Um... actually, I wanted to ask, how did you manage to strike up a conversation with Kazami-kun yesterday?"

Chapter Thirty: What Kita Couldn't Stand the Most

Kazami Mei is just an ordinary person with fairly good academic performance.

He doesn't usually do anything particularly eye-catching, his grades aren't outstanding, and he doesn't even join any clubs or participate in any activities. His behavior is quite ordinary.

What's unusual about him is that he doesn't interact with anyone else in the class at all, making him seem like a very aloof 'weirdo'.

Even so, he is a hidden, highly popular figure within Haneoka High School.

Jiuwu Mountain is famous for its wine.

First and foremost is his outstanding appearance and gentle temperament; his pure physical charm even makes people overlook his twisted and abstract personality. Then there's the rumored young prodigy pianist.

Based solely on these items, he has consistently held the top spot on the "Want to Do It With Him" ​​list.

It is said that every day when he opens his shoe cabinet on his way to school, he receives an envelope from an unknown source.

Some envelopes were wrapped in heart-shaped packaging and sprayed with perfume, while others looked plain and ordinary. There were even bizarre envelopes pieced together from words cut out of newspapers.

very scary.

Of course, Haneoka High School's list goes far beyond this. For example, he has also appeared on strange lists such as "The Legend of Haneoka's Top Ten Schools" and "The One I Most Want to Overpower".

In short, he is indeed very popular.

"Kita-kun, why are you asking me this question?"

Takamatsu Akari paused to think for a moment when asked the question, her brows furrowing slightly in confusion, before slowly asking Kita Ikuyo.

"Um—I mean, I've always wanted to talk to Kazami-kun, but I've never had the chance, so I'm curious how you managed to strike up a conversation with him?"

Why did you want to strike up a conversation with him?

Such a calm sentence instantly froze Kita Ikuyo.

This was the first time Gao Songdeng had ever seen this social butterfly with such an embarrassed expression. She usually handled any topic with ease, but this time her slightly flushed face seemed to be hiding something.

The innocent and pure look of doubt in Akari's eyes made it impossible for Kita to utter any words of deception.

"Is that even a question? Of course, Kita-san has feelings for Kazami-kun!"

"She can't stand androgynous styles the most—"

Before the girl in the back could finish her teasing remark, Ms. Gui Lai Qu Xi, who rushed back like the wind, covered her mouth.

This incredibly fast, synchronized speed startled Goto Ichiri, who had just entered the classroom, so much so that he immediately shrank back.

Boqi, who walked into the classroom carrying a guitar, was so frightened that he turned pale.

【Qian Xun】/①⑷㈨○㈢柒⑨⒏

As Kita flashed past in a blur, Pochi almost thought that Kita found her seaweed too annoying and decided to remove her by herself!

"Anyway! I just 'simply' wanted to make friends with Kazami-kun!"

"So please, Akari-chan~ could you tell me?"

After gagging her friend with the candy she had brought, Kita Ikuyo returned, panting.

Kita spoke with a sincere expression, even clasping her hands together and pleading with the innocent-looking Takamatsu Akari, making it hard to refuse her request.

Huh? Becoming friends with Kazami Naruto?

Goto Ichiri was visibly stunned upon hearing this.

She really hadn't expected that the super popular and outgoing Kita Ikuyo in her class was actually struggling to strike up a conversation with Kazami Mei!?

Even she can do something like that!

Even a slug like her can occasionally exchange a few words with Kazami Naruto in a dark corner.

Could it be that I've already surpassed Kita Ikuyo without even realizing it?!

Thinking of this, Boqi couldn't help but chuckle to herself, feeling a little smug. She slung her guitar over her shoulder and sat back down in her seat, gradually immersing herself in her fantasy of becoming a super popular person.

Takamatsu Akari opened her mouth, as if recalling some memory that made her heart clench, and spoke softly with a slightly pessimistic look in her eyes—

"I don't have a very good relationship with Ming..."

"Ming?"

Kita Ikuyo tilted her head, as if wondering if she had misheard something.

In Japan, calling someone by their first name is considered an extremely intimate act!

In Sakura, a country that places great emphasis on etiquette and social interaction, even female Sakura girls only call each other by name among close friends, let alone between men and women.

Kita, who had been wearing a bright smile, became somewhat taken aback by Akari's words.

Even the somewhat slow-witted Takamatsu realized he had said the wrong thing and, for some reason, called out his name quite naturally.

Just as I was about to explain, the classroom door was opened—

"..."

Kazami Mei hoisted her schoolbag onto her shoulder with one hand and walked towards her seat while yawning sleepily.

Upon seeing him suddenly appear, Kita Ikuyo, who had just been about to ask more questions, quickly retreated from Takamatsu Akari's seat and then pretended to be nonchalant as she continued chatting with her other friends.

Goto Ichiri was secretly amazed by this rapid change of expression.

As a result, only the little lamp remained, sitting there without having a chance to offer any explanation.

I think I said something wrong—

Gently shaking his head to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts, Takamatsu Akari's gaze fell upon the pencil case in front of him.

She had already spread out her bright blue pencil case in front of her from the beginning, and placed all kinds of penguin band-aids she had collected on the table. This childish and funny behavior seemed to be just to attract someone's attention.

Kazami Mei merely glanced at him before turning away without looking back.

Sitting in the back row by the window, he was still bathed in sunlight, and a fleeting fragment of memory seemed to flash through his mind.

Gao Songdeng felt a pang of sorrow in her heart, and she tightly covered her chest with both hands.

He is still the same person, only he is no longer the same person who was the lamp.

Even though Kazami Mei had no memories of her, Takamatsu Akari believed that the emotions and 'memories' in her heart were not false, nor were they just wild fantasies!

Everything she experienced in her dream must have actually happened in some parallel universe.

Therefore, she will no longer be as cowardly as before.

Chapter Thirty-One: Let's show it with actions.

[Added Simulated Objects - Ikuyo Kita]

Kazami Naru: ?

How come I suddenly got a new simulation subject as soon as I walked into the classroom, and it just so happens to be Kita Kita who was absent yesterday?

Yesterday, when the simulator first appeared, Kita Ikuyo, who was his classmate, wasn't even among the simulation subjects. How come she immediately became a new simulation subject today?

Could it be that Miss Kita fell in love with him at first sight?

He could probably tell from the fact that if a simulator wants to make someone else a simulation subject, the other person needs to have some degree of goodwill towards them.

Next, she must be a 'special woman'.
